MILFORD -- Two 18 year-old men were arrested Saturday in connection with a months-long graffiti spree, police said Monday.

Bilal Lopez of Kittery Street and Alex Garcia of Great Meadow Drive were each charged with 11 counts of criminal mischief, breach of peace and conspiracy. They were released after they each posted a $5,000 bond.

Police said that the pair were linked to several vandalism incidents on the west side of Milford between September and November. Most of the graffiti was in public places and included an upside down cross spray-painted or drawn in marker. Other graffiti markings including the wording "Woodland C" were found at school playgrounds, at Silver Sands State Park and the Mondo Ponds trails on West Avenue.
